Collaboration/Interview: Maryam Salam

Today I’m privileged to interview/collaborate with Maryam Salam of the Blogger’s Point (here) !!!!!!

She is someone I really admire soo much, not only is she very knowledgeable and very hardworking, she is also a very beautiful person inside and out, with amazing style. We recently met up for Brunch but ended up doing a shoot (check out her Instagram post/caption on how we met, she definitely tells it better 😂😂😂). I must say it felt like we already knew each other before, everything was just very natural. In terms of the outfit i love that we both styled it in our own way, there was no pressure to emulate anything else other than being ourselves.

We really didn’t want a write up that seemed very forced, so we decided to ask each other some questions (so like a get to know kind of thing). I asked Maryam questions about life in general and blogging, for details on her outfit check out her blog (here) and also for my interview as well.

3. What motivates you? What keeps you going even when things are really hard?

Secondly, my family. My siblings motivate me to be the best version of myself and just their grind alone too motivates me to do better….Hmmm, recently, My boyfriend has been such a great motivator to me.
